Enjoying Life After Divorce

Today is a bit of a sad day for me because it was a year ago that sir fancypants and I boarded a cruise ship for what I thought was just another one in a lifetime of romantic trips. We drank Chardonnay at lunch, talking about someday sipping martinis as we crossed the Arctic Circle…. Continue Reading

Thrift Store Score: A Vintage Pocketbook

Best Thrift Store Finds Ever

This was supposed to be a blog post about the divorce process in Denmark. But I’ve been booked 60ish hours a week with client work, which is a freelancer’s dream, but not an ideal situation for writing a thoughtful and thorough blog post on a complicated topic. So instead, I’m going to share what I… Continue Reading

My Latest Thrift Shopping Finds

Thrift Shopping Finds

Awesome thrift shopping finds are one of my all-time favorite things! So it’s hardly a shocker that I’m back to buying secondhand things now that I’m on my own again. I gave up far too much of myself in order to suit him. I did it willingly, but it’s relief to be able to live… Continue Reading

Danish Xmas Tree

Earlier this week, Robert and I made the executive decision not to have a Christmas tree.  This past month has been hectic for both of us work-wise, then we were away at the Hamburg Christmas Markets, and when we finally got around to thinking about a tree, it was cold, rainy and windy, and we… Continue Reading

Thrifted Change Purse

November 9, 2014 By Sage 2 Comments

Just because I seem all sorts of fancy these days doesn’t mean I’ve lost my love of secondhand treasure hunting.  Scoring an awesome thrift shop deal will always excite me far more than a new designer something or other :) Fabulous finds are tougher to come by in Aarhus where there are more people shopping,… Continue Reading

Thrifted Work Bag

April 6, 2014 By Sage 1 Comment

Don’t let Little Edie fool you, I haven’t abandoned my thrifty ways.  It’s actually my thrifty ways that have brought me to the point where it’s possible for me to see, fall in love with, and buy something like Little Edie without a second thought.
